Glass Midnight: A Cinderella Retelling by Kayla Eshbaugh
hopeful
lighthearted

5.0
True Princess was the first book I've read from Kayla. I love her writing style and was happy to find out it would be a complete series of fairytale retellings.
This second book didn't disappoint either! I loved it! And I was pleasantly surprised that this second book showcased a different side of Kayla's writing style. It was different from the first book. Both were very good and that means I can't wait for the next books to come so I can discover more!
The characters were lovable (even if Wesley is afraid he isn't) and well written! And I loved the banter between Ella and Wes!
Gabriella (Ella) isn't the typical Cinderella. She is smart and fierce, she isn't afraid to speak her mind and knows how to use a dagger.
But at the same time she is kind and sees the good in people.
Wesley (Wes) is very mischievous, but kind. And he doesn't only wear a physical mask but uses his mischievous behaviour also a bit as an emotional mask. He is afraid he's unlovable and that no-one will love the real him.
Until he meets her....
This was a wonderfull Cinderella story filled with magic, humor, romance and also friendship. I loved that the relationship of the main characters wasn’t the only important relationship, but there were also relationships between friends and family.
The story has some great twists woven together with some original elements. It fitted perfectly!
I loved this easy and sweet read with dual POV and can't wait for book three!
I would recommend Glass Midnight to all the Cinderella fans and fans of sweet fairytale retellings out there!
I've received an ARC copy of this book, but this hasn't affected my review. This is only based on my personal opinion.
